Great, but just wish they'd not reworked some of the songs.
I liked the vast majority of this albums songs. All Pearl Jams hits are featured. A few reason why I have not given a 5/5 star review are: The remastered songs (2 on each album). Theyre just not as good as the originals. Also the album structure I feel is not right. Instead of charting PJ's career chronologically (Grunge-Post Grunge etc), songs are placed in what appears to be random order, although the first disk is a lot heavier. Personally I would have done it chronologically, but you cant please everyone! The album cover is a little naff, the sleeves make it difficult to get CD's out of and often the CD's will fall out if your carrying the album about, what was wrong with a hard case?!

Still a great album, although if you have the songs on their original albums stay with them. If your new to Pearl Jam, I would get their Album 10 before this.

Can you see them?
Buy this album. Thats all i can say. "How quick the sun can, drop awayy, and now my bitter hands, cradle broken glass, of what was everything?" Genius.

Good intro to great band
After hearing Alive on the radio as well as many positive statements from friends who were familiar with he band I went looking for a title to act as a good introduction to PJ, and Rearviewmirror is what I found. Let me put it this way it has been 15 months since I got this title, in which time I have acquired every PJ album (bar B side collection Lost Dogs which I intend to get soon), I've seen the band live and they've joined Guns n Roses as my favourite band of all time. In other words, you can't go wrong buying this. Splitting some of the best music of the 1990's into a harder rocking "upside" CD and a softer "downside" CD, this double album gives a great overview of the career of a band that is simply amazing. In a 33 song collection your not going to love every song (not even I do and I LOVE Pearl Jam) but you'll find enough stuff you like to more than warrant the price of the album. Any album that has Alive, Once, Even Flow, Yellow Ledbetter, Betterman, Nothingman, Black, Daughter and the untouchable Jeremy can be nothing but great. If your not familiar with the band or even if you are but haven't got much of their material Rearviewmirror is perfect place to start.

Great compilation!
Ill keep it short and simple. This band is absolutely fantastic. They love making good music! This CD is a great compilation. It is being produced by Epic, which owns these masters, but no longer has a contract with the band. Pearl Jam's two most recent albums are "Lost Dogs" (with awesome B-sides) and "Pearl Jam" (with the hit World Wide Suicide).

I saw them live for the first time in 2006 and they blew me away (they've been rocking since 1990 or so)! 2007 is Europe tour again woehoo!! Peace out.

Sums Up This Remarkable Band.
I Remember First seeing Pearl Jam Perform 'Alive' almost ten years ago on the BBC and it just shows how ****in good they are when they are still going strong today with the Ten club Rockin' Behind em. Pearl Jam are my favourite band and I love this album to pieces. Ok, It may not have some of there greater songs on it ( All those yesterdays and Green Disease, in my opinion) But It makes up for it with Tunes like 'state of Love And Trust', Previously only on a B Side.
If you are hearing 'World Wide Suicide' on the radio and tv, I urge you to look into this album and find out for yourself why this album is one of my favourite greatest Hits.
Every Single song, on both the upside disc and downside disc is amazing ( Especially Rearviewmirror, Do the Evolution, Betterman and the legendary Yellow Ledbetter)
